Spoilervarning! Spoilers från tidigare delar förekommer.Down below, she was
considered an adult. Now, topside in a town called Salvation, she’s a
brat in need of training in the eyes of the townsfolk. She doesn't fit
in with the other girls: Deuce only knows how to fight.

To make
matters worse, her Hunter partner, Fade, keeps Deuce at a distance. Her
feelings for Fade haven’t changed, but he seems not to want her around
anymore. Confused and lonely, she starts looking for a way out.

Deuce
signs up to serve in the summer patrols—those who make sure the
planters can work the fields without danger. It should be routine, but
things have been changing on the surface, just as they did below ground.
The Freaks have grown smarter. They’re watching. Waiting. Planning. The
monsters don’t intend to let Salvation survive, and it may take a girl
like Deuce to turn back the tide.

“Love sounded terrible if it made you so weak, you couldn't survive with out it.”

“I found it curious that people kept animals for companionship and not
food. When I'd asked Mama Oaks when she planned to cook the fat creature
that slept in a basket in the kitchen, her eyes almost popped out of
her head. Since then, she'd kept her pet away from me, like she
suspected I meant to turn it into stew. Clearly, I had a lot to learn.”

After the 1st wave,
only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after
the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule
applies: trust no one.

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on
a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only
look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have
scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie
believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan
Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving
herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between
defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

The past few years have
held more surprises than part-angel Clara Gardner could ever have
anticipated. Yet from the dizzying highs of first love, to the agonizing
low of losing someone close to her, the one thing she can no longer
deny is that she was never meant to live a normal life.

Since
discovering the special role she plays among the other angel-bloods,
Clara has been determined to protect Tucker Avery from the evil that
follows her . . . even if it means breaking both their hearts. Leaving
town seems like the best option, so she’s headed back to California -
and so is Christian Prescott, the irresistible boy from the vision that
started her on this journey in the first place.

As Clara makes
her way in a world that is frighteningly new, she discovers that the
fallen angel who attacked her is watching her every move. And he’s not
the only one. . . . With the battle against the Black Wings looming,
Clara knows she must finally fulfil her destiny. But it won’t come
without sacrifices and betrayal.

In the riveting finale of the Unearthly series, Clara must decide her fate once and for all.

“How did you do that?”I shrug. “I click my heels three times and
say, ‘There’s no place like home.’” “Uh-huh. So … you think this is your
home? My barn? His tone is playful, but the look he’s giving me is dead
serious. A question.“Haven’t you guessed by now?” I say, my heart
hammering. “My home is you”

Lena Halloway's mother,
Annabel, supposedly committed suicide when Lena was only six years old.
That's the lie that Lena grew up believing, but the truth is very
different. As a rebellious teenager, Annabel ran away from home and
straight into the man she knew she was destined to marry. The world was
different then—the regulations not as stringent, the cure only a decade
old. Fast forward to the present, and Annabel is consigned to a dirty
prison cell, where she nurtures her hope of escape and scratches one
word over and over into the walls: Love.

But Annabel, like Lena,
is a fighter. Through chapters that alternate between her past and
present, Annabel reveals the story behind her failed cures, her
marriage, the births of her children, her imprisonment, and, ultimately,
her daring escape.

“But from the beginning, I knew that in a world where destiny was dead, I
was destined, forever, to love him. Even though he didn't - though he
couldn't - ever love me back.”

the underground world in which Thimble and Stone have grown up, they
take Stone’s son and try to escape the chaos. Along the way, they must
evade the Freaks, beings who feed on human flesh. Leaving behind the
roles of Builder and Breeder which they were assigned at birth, they
wander the underground tunnels, looking for safety yet afraid to go
“topside” where legend has it that the light and water will burn their
skin from their bones.

unimagined world of tinned food, comfortable furniture, and books. Away
from their regimented society for the first time, and still facing
imminent danger, Thimble and Stone acknowledge the forbidden attraction
which both have denied for years.

There are two sides to every coin. Whether these two can work together is a tossup.

Hale meet at a society gala, the party takes a dangerous turn. Suddenly
they’re at the center of a hostage situation, and it’s up to them to
stop the thugs from becoming hostile. Will Macey’s spy skills and Hale’s

Amy and Elder have
finally left the oppressive walls of the spaceship Godspeed behind.
They're ready to start life afresh--to build a home--on Centauri-Earth,
the planet that Amy has traveled 25 trillion miles across the universe
to experience.

But this new Earth isn't the paradise that Amy had been
hoping for.

Amy and Elder must race to uncover who--or what--else is out
there if they are to have any hope of saving their struggling colony
and building a future together. But each new discovery brings more
danger. And if their colony collapses then everything they have
sacrificed--friends, family, life on Earth--will have been meaningless.

“But death doesn't work like that. It doesn't care if someone loves you,
doesn't want you to go. It just takes. It takes and it takes until
eventually you have nothing left.”

“I learned that life is so, so fragile. I learned that you can
know someone for just days and never forget the impression he left on
you. I learned that art can be beautiful and sad at the same time. I
learned that if someone loves you, he'll wait for you to love him back.
I learned that how much you want something doesn't determine whether
you get it or not, that "no" might not be enough, that life isn't fair,
that my parents can't save me, that maybe no one can.”

“We all die someday." Maybe the only thing that makes that fact
bearable is the idea that death is the only way we can return to the
stars.”

All Miranda wants is a
normal life. She's determined to move past the horrible truth of her
origin as a clone so she can enjoy time with her boyfriend, Peter, and
the rest of her friends at school. But Miranda quickly learns that
there's no such thing as normal - not for a girl who was raised to be a
weapon. When one of her teammates turns rogue, it begins a war that puts
the world in jeopardy. Now Miranda must follow her instincts - not her
heart - in order to save everything she's fought so hard to keep. with
the image of a terrible future seared into her mind, what will she have
to sacrifice to protect the people she loves?

New York City has been decimated by war and
plague, and most of civilization has migrated to underground enclaves,
where life expectancy is no more than the early 20's. When Deuce turns
15, she takes on her role as a Huntress, and is paired with Fade, a
teenage Hunter who lived Topside as a young boy. When she and Fade
discover that the neighboring enclave has been decimated by the tunnel
monsters--or Freaks--who seem to be growing more organized, the elders
refuse to listen to warnings. And when Deuce and Fade are exiled from
the enclave, the girl born in darkness must survive in daylight--guided
by Fade's long-ago memories--in the ruins of a city whose population has
dwindled to a few dangerous gangs.

Mitt slutbetyg blir att Enclave är en riktigt, riktigt bra bok, med en fenomenal huvudkaraktär, och jag rekommenderar den gärna.Favoritcitat:“You could miss someone, but it did no good to fixate on loss. I wished I
had the ready words of a Breeder or the ability to comfort with a soft
touch. I didn't. Instead I had daggers and determination.That would have to do.”

“We stood back-to-back, blocking and striking in harmony;
sometimes it felt like his arms and legs were an extension of me. I
could count on him to keep them off me from behind.”

she’ll go to protect her boyfriend…and her promise.

The day I turned 16, my boyfriend-to-be died. I brought him back to life. Then things got a little weird...Molly
Bartolucci wants to blend in, date hottie Rick and keep her
zombie-raising abilities on the down-low. Then the god Anubis chooses
her to become a reaper—and she accidentally undoes the work of another
reaper, Rath. Within days, she's shipped off to the Nekyia Academy, an
elite boarding school that trains the best necromancers in the world.
And her personal reaping tutor? Rath.

disappears, Molly starts to wonder if anything is as it seems. Only one
thing is certain—-Molly's got an undeadly knack for finding trouble...

In the Community, there
is no more pain or war. Implanted computer chips have wiped humanity
clean of destructive emotions, and thoughts are replaced by a feed from
the Link network.

When Zoe starts to malfunction (or “glitch”),
she suddenly begins having her own thoughts, feelings, and identity. Any
anomalies must be immediately reported and repaired, but Zoe has a
secret so dark it will mean certain deactivation if she is caught: her
glitches have given her uncontrollable telekinetic powers.

As Zoe
struggles to control her abilities and stay hidden, she meets other
glitchers including Max, who can disguise his appearance, and Adrien,
who has visions of the future. Both boys introduce Zoe to feelings that
are entirely new. Together, this growing band of glitchers must find a
way to free themselves from the controlling hands of the Community
before they’re caught and deactivated, or worse.
